Ah, glad you are aware. Others should be too. Her particular version of snake oil is not only predatory, but also dangerous to women and their health.

Paltrow has no credibility. Look up “goop”. She is a shill for snake oil crap.

I was too wary of the 320 to ever trust it exactly like you’ve mentioned. Interesting that I went with the 365 as well and am satisfied with it. I added the larger mags mostly so it fit my hand better, but that’s it.

This stems from the (purported and controversial) flaws in the P320. I have been aware of this issue (but am no expert) and don’t own a P320 partially because of that. The other notable (to me) point is that Sig isn’t attempting to dive in, find and fix the possible defect, but instead intends to fight and force new laws to be drafted to better protect themselves from legal culpability. I find that reprehensible though not unexpected from a contemporary company.

“Nearly all branches of the U.S. military have adopted the M18, as well as the M17, as their standard sidearms. The guns are modeled on Sig Sauer’s best-selling P320 pistol, which is sold on the civilian market and is widely used by law enforcement agencies around the country.”

“The death at the Wyoming base is the latest in a series of incidents in recent years that have raised questions about the safety of Sig’s marquee pistol. Both the P320 and the military’s version of the gun have faced repeated allegations of unintentional discharges, in which the gun allegedly fires without an intentional trigger pull. The gun has been at the center of dozens of civil lawsuits claiming it has a design flaw, though judges and juries have delivered mixed verdicts over the company’s liability in these shootings.”

“In March, Sig Sauer, whose headquarters are in Newington, announced it would take an aggressive approach to push back against allegations involving the P320, calling concerns about its safety “lies and misinformation.” That campaign included a successful effort this year to secure a change in New Hampshire law that will protect Sig Sauer from future liability lawsuits regarding allegations the gun should come equipped with certain safety features.”

Key Takeaways on the Seven Sisters Eclipse on July 20, 2025:

• The Seven Sisters Eclipse occurs when the moon in its waning crescent phase moves across the Pleiades and blocks the stars from view.

• The event is not rare and has taken place every month since September 2023. The July 2025 event will occur on July 20 in the early hours of the day.

• The Pleiades contain more than a thousand young stars bound together by gravity, the brightest of which can be viewed with the naked eye

Oh…that’s too bad.

I was finished building a quantum desk that I’ll start on building tomorrow.

Thank you for the comprehensive reply! I am curious: do the ponds not produce mosquitoes as well?

I live on a hillside and creating water spots might get tricky on our rocky soil. It could be done I suppose, but it’ll have to be the next place to try.

The forest must help. We have some thick western red cedar groves and do have a lot of dragonflies at times, but no water other than birdbaths. I love seeing them scanning the hillside and the few flat spots we have. I’m always rooting for them. Funny about the frogs. I like em too, but we don’t see many. Lizards and snakes mostly.

Thanks for the Ted talk! 😂

Thanks for the TLDR. Dragonflies are the worlds most efficient hunters.

You mentioned that you “use” them. Do you introduce them or do they exist naturally where you are? If so, are there ways to increase their numbers? We have some dragonflies, but we have far more mosquitoes! Just curious.

He told me to get off his lawn and he’s keeping the ball.

Only a small handful of people in my circle are willing to use it. Most can’t be bothered to change despite my efforts to explain how much better it is to use. I’ve waned in my usage of unencrypted chat so that is isolating me from some which saddens me a bit. I can handle that, but I am far more disappointed in people’s indifference in the matter.

And the answer is no.

Furthermore, I believe they were using some bootleg version of Signal.

Okay, Lindsay, are you forgetting that I was a professional twice over— an analyst and a therapist. The world’s first analrapist.

“According to a preprint posted to the bioRxiv server this month, nearly all the dead colonies tested positive for bee viruses spread by parasitic mites. Alarmingly, every single one of the mites the researchers screened was resistant to amitraz, the only viable mite-specific pesticide—or miticide—of its kind left in humans’ arsenal.”

My mind went right to the DNC leaders being complicit. Maybe they were shown a window or pictures of their children or they are just shitty people.

Designed to get people upset with dem reps that vote for it. They’ll get heat either way they vote, so the right call is to abstain. Though that would still inspire ire from the right, but whatevs.
